High Btu Landfill Gas Recovery Utilizing Pressure Swing Mdea Process

Harold L. Dinsmore

Manager Resource Recovery Department, John Zink Company, Tulsa, OK 74170, U.S.A.

The extraction and processing of landfill gas to pipeline quality specifications is a viable method for recovering landfill gas. A plant operating at the Central Disposal Sanitary Landfill in Pompano Beach, Florida, employs a proprietary process involving a methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) based solvent. The process utilizes a combination pressure-swing and thermal solvent-regeneration procedure which dramatically reduces energy requirements relative to those of traditional amine processes. Much of the equipment is skid mounted and modularized which reduces field installation costs and facilitates future removal to other sites.

Key Words: Landfill gas • pipeline quality • methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) • pressure-swing • thermal regeneration.
